Presented by Legal Aid Queensland on 23/02/2016
Legal Aid Queensland held a free webinar for community workers on ‘Understanding the youth justice system – what community workers need to know.’ The webinar covers topics like:
• why we have a youth justice system
• why we have different justice systems for young people and adults
• common misconceptions about youth justice
• tips for community workers
• where to get legal help.
The Youth Advocacy Centre (a Queensland-based specialist legal and welfare agency for young people aged 10 to 18) offers specialised training for anyone who works with young people. The practice based training gives participants a better understanding of the law and statutory systems (including youth justice and child protection) involving young people and also how the law affects them as workers with young people.

Do you know how to deal with harassment and discrimination at work?
Armed with a digital video camera, two Bay Area high school seniors interview young people at work, on the street and at school about tackling workplace harassment and discrimination.
Kendra and Danielle created this short video as part of a month-long internship with the EEOC's Youth@WorkInitiative, a campaign to ensure positive first work experiences for teens. (Special thanks to Jackie Alarcon and her Peer Resources classes at Galileo)
Note from EEOC-San FranciscoDistrict: a captioned version of the video is on its way... until then here is the transcript of the video:
"How many of you have witnessed sexual harassment on the job?"
"Sometimes people go too far too, and when you go too far, we'll tell them, you know, like, 'don't say that.'"
"It was sexist."
"...remind you: at the store, the customer's always right."
[screen title] What would you do?
[voice over] Every year, millions of teenagers enter the workforce. Some are just looking for a summer job, some are saving up for a car, and others need money to support their family. But it can be hard to know what to expect from a first job, and sometimes teens have trouble standing up for their rights. As part of the Youth@Work campaign at the EEOC, we went out to talk to teen workers about workplace harassment and discrimination.
[screen title] How would you respond to harassment or discrimination at work?
"Probably just, uh, probably just keep it to myself for a while, until I found out if it was serious."
"If it was to an extent where I was bothered by it, I think I'd have to confront them."
"Like, probably, like, complain to a superior."
"Probably first bring it up to my boss if it was like a coworker. Um...I don't know what I would do if it was my boss harassing me. I mean, I guess threaten to quit."
"I'd talk to my manager...whoever's in charge."
[voice over] We found that a lot of young workers know when their rights have been violated, and they know they should do something about it. But if that's the case, then why has workplace harassment and discrimination become such a prevalent issue for teens.
[screen title] Where would you turn if your boss didn't take action?
"If it continued from there, I don't know where I'd turn."
"I'd get a lawyer or something."
"Uh...I don't know, yeah."
"I don't know. I don't really know where I would go."
[voice over] That's the problem. Teenagers don't know where to go if top management doesn't help them. It's hard to stand up for your rights if you don't know how to back them up. That's what the EEOC's for: to enforce our basic rights. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is a federal agency that fights harassment and enforces equal rights. It investigates complaints based on color, race, disability, religion, national origin, sex, and age over 40. if any of these laws has been violated, the EEOC takes action. But the EEOC can't effectively do its job if young workers don't know it exists.
[screen title] Have your ever heard of the EEOC?
"The what?"
-The EEOC
"[laughing] Oh I thought you said the OC. Um, no."
"No."
"No."
"Is that... No, wait what is? No, I've never heard of the EEOC."
"It sounds familiar but I don't know specifically."

"No."

Likwa Nkala of EastMetroYouth Services and Andrew Bartley of PlatinumLeadership introduce the Youth OutreachWorkerCommunity of Practice.
‘The Youth Outreach Worker Program supports marginalized and at-risk youth and their families. This helps them to better navigate and connect with services and opportunities in their communities and to improve youth outcomes.’
22 lead agencies are contracted by the Ministry of Children and Youth Services to provide the Youth Outreach Worker Program. In 2016, four new regions of the YOW program were added as part of the Enhanced Youth Action plan. This created an opportunity to formalize the YOW Community of Practice as well as increase the support provided to frontline workers through an online learning portal. It was our pleasure to engage Platinum Leadership to facilitate these expanded services.
The community of practice gathers professionals dedicated to making it more likely that marginalized and at-risk youth are engaged, and have families and/or caring adults equipped to help them thrive. It is committed to helping young people navigate the resources in their communities, and make choices that support their healthy and safe development.
As a Community of Practice, we’ve set three objectives for ourselves in creating a shared space in the areas of learning, connection and advocacy. Let’s look at each of these in turn …
1) To support learning, the Community of Practice will share best practices, trends, and information. They will learn from one another, and foster opportunities to explore professional development for Youth Outreach Workers.
2) To promote connection, the Community of Practice will provide opportunities for support, affirmation, communication and collaboration among its members.
3) To encourage advocacy, the Community of Practice will highlight trends and evaluate results with policy makers, making recommendations for program direction. It will speak with one, strengthened voice on behalf of the Youth Outreach Worker Program and the wider system as it affects young people and their families.
Being seen as a valid and credible source of youth information across the province because of the data that they are able to collect and the work they do with marginalized young people. To see government making decisions based on the thousands of young people that we see through the youth outreach program.
It is inspiring to witness Youth Outreach Workers acting as mentors, promoting broader opportunities for youth in communities all across Ontario. Every day, their advocacy improves young people’s access to the services they need.
Thank you to the Ministry of Children and Youth Services for supporting this work, to each of the agencies and leaders participating in this Community of Practice, to the extraordinary Youth Outreach Workers who make all of this possible, and to the young people and families whom it is our privilege to serve.

Youth work

Youth work is community support activity aimed at older children and adolescents. Depending upon the culture and the community, different services and institutions may exist for this purpose. In the United Kingdom youth work is the process of creating an environment where young people can engage in informal educational activities. Different varieties of youth work include centre-based work, detached work, school-based work and religion based work. Throughout the United States and Canada, youth work is any activity that seeks to engage young people in coordinated programs, including those that are recreational, educational, or social by nature and design.

"Youth work" is defined as activities that intentionally seek to impact young people. This is primarily a set of loosely affiliated activities that have been defined, redefined, examined, and reinvented in subsequent generations.

Youth

Youth is the time of life when one is young, but often means the time between childhood and adulthood (maturity). It is also defined as "the appearance, freshness, vigor, spirit, etc., characteristic of one who is young". Its definitions of a specific age range varies, as youth is not defined chronologically as a stage that can be tied to specific age ranges; nor can its end point be linked to specific activities, such as taking unpaid work or having sexual relations.

Youth is an experience that may shape an individual's level of dependency, which can be marked in various ways according to different cultural perspectives. Personal experience is marked by an individual's cultural norms or traditions, while a youth's level of dependency means the extent to which they still rely on their family emotionally and economically.

Terminology and definitions

General

Around the world, the English terms youth, adolescent, teenager, kid, and young person are interchanged, often meaning the same thing, but they are occasionally differentiated. Youth can be referred to as the time of life when one is young. This involves childhood, and the time of life which is neither childhood nor adulthood, but rather somewhere in between.Youth also identifies a particular mindset of attitude, as in "He is very youthful". For certain uses, such as employment statistics, the term also sometimes refers to individuals from the ages of 14 to 21. However, the term adolescence refers to a specific age range during a specific developmental period in a person's life, unlike youth which is a socially constructed category.

Youth Outreach

Youth Outreach (Chinese: 協青社)is a non-profit organization in Hong Kong established in November 1991 as a crisis intervention center for youth. In the years since its establishment, the organization has been devoting its services to help youth in critical condition or those who face major crisis in their life. The Chinese name of Youth Outreach are special in that, the first word “Qing”, meaning “green”, symbolizes youthfulness and liveliness, and its character position between “協”, meaning aid, and “社”, meaning society, creates the picture of youth being supported and cared for.

Background of the organization

Youth Outreach was formed in 1991 due to the proposal of the Hong Kong Council of Social Service (HKCSS) to work for youth life crisis prevention and youth healthy development. It provides professional counselling services to the youth as well, who are incapable of handling life crisis incidents on their own.

History

In 1991, the minute center of Youth Outreach situated in the quarters of Mong Kok was intended to become a one-stop crisis prevention service center under the initiative by Professor Peter Newbery.

Community of practice

A community of practice (CoP) is a group of people who share a craft and/or a profession. The concept was first proposed by cognitive anthropologistsJean Lave and Etienne Wenger in 1991. A CoP can evolve naturally because of the members' common interest in a particular domain or area, or it can be created deliberately with the goal of gaining knowledge related to a specific field. It is through the process of sharing information and experiences with the group that the members learn from each other, and have an opportunity to develop themselves personally and professionally (Lave & Wenger 1991).

CoPs can exist in physical settings, for example, a lunch room at work, a field setting, a factory floor, or elsewhere in the environment, but members of CoPs do not have to be co-located. They form a “virtual community of practice” (VCoP) (e.g. Dubé et al. 2005) when they collaborate online, such as within discussion boards and newsgroups, or a ‘‘mobile community of practice’’ (MCoP) (Kietzmann et al. 2013) when members communicate with one another via mobile phones and participate in community work on the go.

"Treat them like kids, not criminals" Could youth justice Spanish-style work in London?

What should we do with children who repeatedly commit crime in London? Punish them? Rehabilitate them? Or try to do both? A review of the British youth justice system has found a new approach is badly needed - and that education should be at the heart of the reforms. One nation which prides itself on the way it's been cutting youth re-offending is Spain. Our home affairs correspondent Nick Beake travelled to the south east Spanish coast - to find out how they do it -and was given exclusive access to where young offenders are looked after.

"Treat them like kids, not criminals" Could youth justice Spanish-style work in London?

What should we do with children who repeatedly commit crime in London? Punish them? Rehabilitate them? Or try to do both? A review of the British youth justice system has found a new approach is badly needed - and that education should be at the heart of the reforms. One nation which prides itself on the way it's been cutting youth re-offending is Spain. Our home affairs correspondent Nick Beake travelled to the south east Spanish coast - to find out how they do it -and was given exclusive access to where young offenders are looked after.

Do you know how to deal with harassment and discrimination at work?
Armed with a digital video camera, two Bay Area high school seniors interview young people at work, on the street and at school about tackling workplace harassment and discrimination.
Kendra and Danielle created this short video as part of a month-long internship with the EEOC's Youth@WorkInitiative, a campaign to ensure positive first work experiences for teens. (Special thanks to Jackie Alarcon and her Peer Resources classes at Galileo)
Note from EEOC-San FranciscoDistrict: a captioned version of the video is on its way... until then here is the transcript of the video:
"How many of you have witnessed sexual harassment on the job?"
"Sometimes people go too far too, and when you go too far, we'll tell them, you know, like, 'don't say that.'"
"It was sexist."
"...remind you: at the store, the customer's always right."
[screen title] What would you do?
[voice over] Every year, millions of teenagers enter the workforce. Some are just looking for a summer job, some are saving up for a car, and others need money to support their family. But it can be hard to know what to expect from a first job, and sometimes teens have trouble standing up for their rights. As part of the Youth@Work campaign at the EEOC, we went out to talk to teen workers about workplace harassment and discrimination.
[screen title] How would you respond to harassment or discrimination at work?
"Probably just, uh, probably just keep it to myself for a while, until I found out if it was serious."
"If it was to an extent where I was bothered by it, I think I'd have to confront them."
"Like, probably, like, complain to a superior."
"Probably first bring it up to my boss if it was like a coworker. Um...I don't know what I would do if it was my boss harassing me. I mean, I guess threaten to quit."
"I'd talk to my manager...whoever's in charge."
[voice over] We found that a lot of young workers know when their rights have been violated, and they know they should do something about it. But if that's the case, then why has workplace harassment and discrimination become such a prevalent issue for teens.
[screen title] Where would you turn if your boss didn't take action?
"If it continued from there, I don't know where I'd turn."
"I'd get a lawyer or something."
"Uh...I don't know, yeah."
"I don't know. I don't really know where I would go."
[voice over] That's the problem. Teenagers don't know where to go if top management doesn't help them. It's hard to stand up for your rights if you don't know how to back them up. That's what the EEOC's for: to enforce our basic rights. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is a federal agency that fights harassment and enforces equal rights. It investigates complaints based on color, race, disability, religion, national origin, sex, and age over 40. if any of these laws has been violated, the EEOC takes action. But the EEOC can't effectively do its job if young workers don't know it exists.
[screen title] Have your ever heard of the EEOC?
"The what?"
-The EEOC
"[laughing] Oh I thought you said the OC. Um, no."
"No."
"No."
"Is that... No, wait what is? No, I've never heard of the EEOC."
"It sounds familiar but I don't know specifically."
"Um, no."
"No."

Likwa Nkala of EastMetroYouth Services and Andrew Bartley of PlatinumLeadership introduce the Youth OutreachWorkerCommunity of Practice.
‘The Youth Outreach Worker Program supports marginalized and at-risk youth and their families. This helps them to better navigate and connect with services and opportunities in their communities and to improve youth outcomes.’
22 lead agencies are contracted by the Ministry of Children and Youth Services to provide the Youth Outreach Worker Program. In 2016, four new regions of the YOW program were added as part of the Enhanced Youth Action plan. This created an opportunity to formalize the YOW Community of Practice as well as increase the support provided to frontline workers through an online learning portal. It was our pleasure to engage Platinum Leadership to facilitate these expanded services.
The community of practice gathers professionals dedicated to making it more likely that marginalized and at-risk youth are engaged, and have families and/or caring adults equipped to help them thrive. It is committed to helping young people navigate the resources in their communities, and make choices that support their healthy and safe development.
As a Community of Practice, we’ve set three objectives for ourselves in creating a shared space in the areas of learning, connection and advocacy. Let’s look at each of these in turn …
1) To support learning, the Community of Practice will share best practices, trends, and information. They will learn from one another, and foster opportunities to explore professional development for Youth Outreach Workers.
2) To promote connection, the Community of Practice will provide opportunities for support, affirmation, communication and collaboration among its members.
3) To encourage advocacy, the Community of Practice will highlight trends and evaluate results with policy makers, making recommendations for program direction. It will speak with one, strengthened voice on behalf of the Youth Outreach Worker Program and the wider system as it affects young people and their families.
Being seen as a valid and credible source of youth information across the province because of the data that they are able to collect and the work they do with marginalized young people. To see government making decisions based on the thousands of young people that we see through the youth outreach program.
It is inspiring to witness Youth Outreach Workers acting as mentors, promoting broader opportunities for youth in communities all across Ontario. Every day, their advocacy improves young people’s access to the services they need.
Thank you to the Ministry of Children and Youth Services for supporting this work, to each of the agencies and leaders participating in this Community of Practice, to the extraordinary Youth Outreach Workers who make all of this possible, and to the young people and families whom it is our privilege to serve.

What should we do with children who repeatedly commit crime in London? Punish them? Rehabilitate them? Or try to do both? A review of the British youth justice system has found a new approach is badly needed - and that education should be at the heart of the reforms. One nation which prides itself on the way it's been cutting youth re-offending is Spain. Our home affairs correspondent Nick Beake travelled to the south east Spanish coast - to find out how they do it -and was given exclusive access to where young offenders are looked after.

In Canada, those of us living with HIV have the duty to disclose our HIV status to our partners before engaging in sexual activities that have a "realistic possibility" of passing HIV. This webinar aims to explain how this law impacts our community, and to discuss how this law contributes to and is influenced by HIV stigma. As well, we will highlight the on-going work of an ambitious group of local youth advocating for the much necessary changes we hope to see regarding this law. HIV+ Youth are coming together to help end discrimination they face from Canada. Through mobilization and strategizing around the current laws around HIV non-disclosure, they will decide how they will present to the Department of Justice, and how to end the discrimination youth now face from these laws.

Since 2007, the American Bar AssociationCenter on Children and the Law, the Education Law Center and Juvenile Law Center have furthered this mission through a national project that has created reforms at the federal and state level. The Legal Center has furthered these reforms through:
• A strong voice at the national level for the education of children in foster care
• A central clearinghouse of information on foster care and education
• Training and technical assistance at the federal, state and local levels
This webinar will summarize the Legal Center’s federal, state, and local work. We will address how our work touches on YTFG’s areas of interest, including the key role of education in social, emotional and physical well-being for youth in the child welfare and juvenile justice systems.
Finally, we will forecast upcoming opportunities to advance this work, including efforts to ensure that more youth in care not only finish high school, but also receive the supports they need to enter into and graduate from post-secondary education or training programs.
Panelists include:
• Bob Schwartz, Executive Director, Juvenile Law Center
• Kathleen McNaught, Assistant Director, ABA Center on Children and the Law

In Canada, those of us living with HIV have the duty to disclose our HIV status to our partners before engaging in sexual activities that have a "realistic possibility" of passing HIV. This webinar aims to explain how this law impacts our community, and to discuss how this law contributes to and is influenced by HIV stigma. As well, we will highlight the on-going work of an ambitious group of local youth advocating for the much necessary changes we hope to see regarding this law. HIV+ Youth are coming together to help end discrimination they face from Canada. Through mobilization and strategizing around the current laws around HIV non-disclosure, they will decide how they will present to the Department of Justice, and how to end the discrimination youth now face from these laws.
Richard Elliott is a lawyer and the executive director of the CanadianHIV/AIDSLegalNetwork, which is one of the founding organizations of the Canadian Coalition to Reform HIV Criminalization.
William Flett, from YouthCO HIV and Hep CSociety, will be speaking on the youth efforts towards an organized response to the non-disclosure law, and how his team is mobilizing to present to the Department of Justice on how this law impacts them.

Understanding the youth justice system – what community workers need to know

Presented by Legal Aid Queensland on 23/02/2016
Legal Aid Queensland held a free webinar for community workers on ‘Understanding the youth justice system – what community workers need to know.’ The webinar covers topics like:
• why we have a youth justice system
• why we have different justice systems for young people and adults
• common misconceptions about youth justice
• tips for community workers
• where to get legal help.
The Youth Advocacy Centre (a Queensland-based specialist legal and welfare agency for young people aged 10 to 18) offers specialised training for anyone who works with young people. The practice based training gives participants a better understanding of the law and statutory systems (including youth justice and child protection) involving young people and also how the law affects them as workers with young people.

EEOC youth@work

Do you know how to deal with harassment and discrimination at work?
Armed with a digital video camera, two Bay Area high school seniors interview young people at work, on the street and at school about tackling workplace harassment and discrimination.
Kendra and Danielle created this short video as part of a month-long internship with the EEOC's Youth@WorkInitiative, a campaign to ensure positive first work experiences for teens. (Special thanks to Jackie Alarcon and her Peer Resources classes at Galileo)
Note from EEOC-San FranciscoDistrict: a captioned version of the video is on its way... until then here is the transcript of the video:
"How many of you have witnessed sexual harassment on the job?"
"Sometimes people go too far too, and when you go too far, we'll tell them, you know, like, 'don't say that.'"
"It was sexist."
"...remind you: at the store, the customer's always right."
[screen title] What would you do?
[voice over] Every year, millions of teenagers enter the workforce. Some are just looking for a summer job, some are saving up for a car, and others need money to support their family. But it can be hard to know what to expect from a first job, and sometimes teens have trouble standing up for their rights. As part of the Youth@Work campaign at the EEOC, we went out to talk to teen workers about workplace harassment and discrimination.
[screen title] How would you respond to harassment or discrimination at work?
"Probably just, uh, probably just keep it to myself for a while, until I found out if it was serious."
"If it was to an extent where I was bothered by it, I think I'd have to confront them."
"Like, probably, like, complain to a superior."
"Probably first bring it up to my boss if it was like a coworker. Um...I don't know what I would do if it was my boss harassing me. I mean, I guess threaten to quit."
"I'd talk to my manager...whoever's in charge."
[voice over] We found that a lot of young workers know when their rights have been violated, and they know they should do something about it. But if that's the case, then why has workplace harassment and discrimination become such a prevalent issue for teens.
[screen title] Where would you turn if your boss didn't take action?
"If it continued from there, I don't know where I'd turn."
"I'd get a lawyer or something."
"Uh...I don't know, yeah."
"I don't know. I don't really know where I would go."
[voice over] That's the problem. Teenagers don't know where to go if top management doesn't help them. It's hard to stand up for your rights if you don't know how to back them up. That's what the EEOC's for: to enforce our basic rights. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is a federal agency that fights harassment and enforces equal rights. It investigates complaints based on color, race, disability, religion, national origin, sex, and age over 40. if any of these laws has been violated, the EEOC takes action. But the EEOC can't effectively do its job if young workers don't know it exists.
[screen title] Have your ever heard of the EEOC?
"The what?"
-The EEOC
"[laughing] Oh I thought you said the OC. Um, no."
"No."
"No."
"Is that... No, wait what is? No, I've never heard of the EEOC."
"It sounds familiar but I don't know specifically."
"Um, no."
"No."
[screen title] Let's change that.

Youth Outreach Worker Community of Practice

Likwa Nkala of EastMetroYouth Services and Andrew Bartley of PlatinumLeadership introduce the Youth OutreachWorkerCommunity of Practice.
‘The Youth Outreach Worker Program supports marginalized and at-risk youth and their families. This helps them to better navigate and connect with services and opportunities in their communities and to improve youth outcomes.’
22 lead agencies are contracted by the Ministry of Children and Youth Services to provide the Youth Outreach Worker Program. In 2016, four new regions of the YOW program were added as part of the Enhanced Youth Action plan. This created an opportunity to formalize the YOW Community of Practice as well as increase the support provided to frontline workers through an online learning portal. It was our pleasure to engage Platinum Leadership to facilitate these expanded services.
The community of practice gathers professionals dedicated to making it more likely that marginalized and at-risk youth are engaged, and have families and/or caring adults equipped to help them thrive. It is committed to helping young people navigate the resources in their communities, and make choices that support their healthy and safe development.
As a Community of Practice, we’ve set three objectives for ourselves in creating a shared space in the areas of learning, connection and advocacy. Let’s look at each of these in turn …
1) To support learning, the Community of Practice will share best practices, trends, and information. They will learn from one another, and foster opportunities to explore professional development for Youth Outreach Workers.
2) To promote connection, the Community of Practice will provide opportunities for support, affirmation, communication and collaboration among its members.
3) To encourage advocacy, the Community of Practice will highlight trends and evaluate results with policy makers, making recommendations for program direction. It will speak with one, strengthened voice on behalf of the Youth Outreach Worker Program and the wider system as it affects young people and their families.
Being seen as a valid and credible source of youth information across the province because of the data that they are able to collect and the work they do with marginalized young people. To see government making decisions based on the thousands of young people that we see through the youth outreach program.
It is inspiring to witness Youth Outreach Workers acting as mentors, promoting broader opportunities for youth in communities all across Ontario. Every day, their advocacy improves young people’s access to the services they need.
Thank you to the Ministry of Children and Youth Services for supporting this work, to each of the agencies and leaders participating in this Community of Practice, to the extraordinary Youth Outreach Workers who make all of this possible, and to the young people and families whom it is our privilege to serve.

"Treat them like kids, not criminals" Could youth justice Spanish-style work in London?

What should we do with children who repeatedly commit crime in London? Punish them? Rehabilitate them? Or try to do both? A review of the British youth justice system has found a new approach is badly needed - and that education should be at the heart of the reforms. One nation which prides itself on the way it's been cutting youth re-offending is Spain. Our home affairs correspondent Nick Beake travelled to the south east Spanish coast - to find out how they do it -and was given exclusive access to where young offenders are looked after.

Youth work

Youth work is community support activity aimed at older children and adolescents. Depending upon the culture and the community, different services and institutions may exist for this purpose. In the United Kingdom youth work is the process of creating an environment where young people can engage in informal educational activities. Different varieties of youth work include centre-based work, detached work, school-based work and religion based work. Throughout the United States and Canada, youth work is any activity that seeks to engage young people in coordinated programs, including those that are recreational, educational, or social by nature and design.

"Youth work" is defined as activities that intentionally seek to impact young people. This is primarily a set of loosely affiliated activities that have been defined, redefined, examined, and reinvented in subsequent generations.
